Amos Otis

Amos Joseph Otis
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 166 lbs.
Born: April 26, 1947 in Mobile, AL
Drafted: 5th round 1965 by the Boston Red Sox
Acquired: selected from the Red Sox in the Minor League Draft, November 1966
Departed: traded to the Kansas City Royals with
Bob Johnson for Joe Foy, December 1969

 

Amos played for the 1969 World Champions for the first half of that season, but his fame came as an All-Star center fielder for the Kansas City Royals for over a decade. In fact, if Amos had posted the statistics with the Mets that he did with the Royals, he would have been known as one of New York's all-time greats! He is pictured here on a 1971 Topps Tattoos panel, and below on a Topps Supers card from the same year, as well as nine different O-Pee-Chee cards (and a few more).

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
